Choose Your Alpine Experience
All Alpine Roads tours follow the same core approach: deep local knowledge, a journey-and-base structure, progressive riding and full vehicle support — designed to create a relaxed, sustainable alpine experience for both riders and pillions.
Each tour forms a complete alpine circuit rather than a simple out-and-back route.
Depending on the tour length, you’ll ride the Black Forest High Road (B500), sections of the Deutsche Alpenstraße and through Schwangau, home to the famous Neuschwanstein Castle.
From our alpine base the riding expands further into the heart of the Alps, taking in iconic roads such as the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, Nockalmstraße and Gerlos Pass, as well as routes across the Julian Alps into Slovenia via the historic Wurzenpass and into the dramatic passes of the Italian Dolomites.
The difference between Compact and Classic is simply time and depth.
For riders looking for a deeper alpine experience, Alpine Roads also offers extended and bespoke tours.
A limited number of 14-day journeys and privately guided tours can be arranged for individuals or small groups. These trips are crafted personally, allowing the route, riding pace and destinations to be tailored around the type of alpine experience you want to create.
If you have something specific in mind, simply get in touch to discuss what’s possible.

Most riders think of France or Switzerland when they imagine the Alps, but the Austrian Alps offer some of the finest motorcycle roads anywhere in Europe.
Austria is known for its smooth flowing passes, purpose-built alpine roads and quieter valleys. Famous routes such as the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, Nockalmstraße and Gerlos Pass deliver spectacular scenery and exceptional riding.
Our base in Carinthia also provides easy access to the Italian Dolomites and Slovenian alpine roads, giving huge route variety within a small area.
Many riders discover Austria later than France — and often wonder why they didn’t ride here sooner.
